Harris' four-year-old son Jaquari Dancy was found in his room with a fitted bedsheet cord around his neck in 2005 and Harris was charged after she says she gave a forced confession following a 27-hour interrogation by police which was not videotaped.

After her arrest Harris reached out to the Northwestern University Center on Wrongful Convictions which then turned to a Chicago law firm for help. Attorneys with mega firm Jenner & Block say a key to Harris' victory was that the judge barred crucial witness testimony from her older son Diante who they allege saw the younger brother strangle himself.

Now a free woman, Harris told Fox she wants to get back and work on her Master's degree for community counseling and spend time with her son Diante, now a teenager.

Exonerations

Audrey Edmunds poses at the John C. Burke Correctional Center in Waupun, Wis., 10 years into serving an 18-year sentence for shaking a baby to death while babysitting. She was freed in February 2008 after an appeals court said new research into shaken baby syndrome cast doubt on her guilt. According to Northwestern University's Center on Wrongful Convictions, experts concluded that symptoms they once thought were proof of a shaken baby can result from other causes, including accidents, illness, infection, old injuries and congenital defects.
